hi all been looking around and cant seem to find a headlight like this one . been up all night trying to find one in goodle etc
 
wondering if any of you boys might have one that still in good condition you may want to sell even if its just the glass lens
dont like the repo ones on the market and thought maybe somebody might have one in there spares there not using or want
 


 
 
 

They look well made German Hella................cant say I've ever seen that exact one here in Oz, but there must be some around as it's a semi SB and not throw away fully SB..............unftntly all these parts are getting rarer by the day; a good reason to frequent as many swapmeets as possible, lest the un-knowing include them in their next rubbish tip trip.......perish the thought!

I might, Ill check there are a few different versions

 
 
the numbers on the front lens ..they are  
 
they are 12.5
301=915418
 
cheers

All mine are hella. All throw always if not working.

This place has Autopal headlights at a good price:

i brought some of them autopal headlights ,
 
think ill be returning  them compared to the hella one above they seem bit dull , the hella ones stick out of the chrome bezel just right  the autopal doesnt  just doesnt look right to me ,
the autopal  ones width from centre of glass are 30mm the hella are 40mm and sit perfect....
the autopal seem short
 
i went past the small ford wreckers and found 2 exact hella lenses got them for free as well as the back of them were rusted out badly but hey i only wanted the lenses
 
i'll take out one of the autopal glass lenses and swap them with the hella lens

If a rusty second hand one comes up you unpick the lense from the backing and re-attach it to a new one. I've done this with genuine lenses on a square headlight Escort. Its a bit of a chore, you need to cut away and disregard the old backing and break the lense on the new unit but it is do-able if you want that factory look... Don't just think Capri either, chances are they'll be used on another model, search for some aftermarket ones and see if they list any other applications, then hunt for the hella's from there...
Cheers Drew

I saw a build thread on turbosport where a guy separated the glass and had the back rechromed.  Looked mint afterward.
